Female directors in corporate America earned median compensation of $120,000, based on the most recently available pay data, compared with $104,375 for male board members, research group The Corporate Library said in its annual director pay report on Wednesday.

At the same time, the study said, women in corporate boardrooms are outnumbered eight to one.

"This makes being a director one of the few jobs in the U.S. economy where the pay differential is reversed," between men and women, the study found.

I think we need to tax female board members to compensate male members.

Aren’t there better ways they could compensate male members?

From the article:

"The Corporate Library also found that directors who have titles such as lord and judge tend to earn more than other board members."

Yes, I've found that when I make my employees call me "Lord Garth" my paycheck goes up.

I’m suprised that this was put out by Reuters.
The propaganda officers and political-correctness censors at Reuters
must have headed out early to the bar the day this came out.
